An [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) plugin that brings the Eisenhower Matrix to your vault — a proven prioritization framework that divides tasks into four quadrants by urgency and importance.

## Features

### 4-Quadrant Matrix View
A full-width tab with a colour-coded 2×2 grid, labelled by urgency and importance. Each quadrant has a distinct header colour so you can orient instantly.

```
┌─────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┐
│  Do First               │  Delegate               │
│  Urgent & Important     │  Urgent & Non-Important  │
├─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────┤
│  Eliminate              │  Schedule               │
│  Non-Urgent &           │  Non-Urgent & Important  │
│  Non-Important          │                         │
└─────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┘
```

### Sections
Organise tasks inside each quadrant into named sections.
- **Add** a section via the input just below the quadrant header
- **Rename** inline — click the pencil icon, type, press Enter
- **Delete** — click the trash icon; tasks under the section migrate to *Uncategorized* automatically

*Uncategorized* is the built-in fallback section and cannot be renamed or deleted.

### Adding Tasks
Type in the *Add task…* input at the bottom of each quadrant and press **Enter** or **Add Task**. New tasks land in *Uncategorized* — drag them to the right section from there.

### Drag & Drop
Drag any task to a different section within the same quadrant, or across quadrants entirely. Drop zones highlight as you hover. Tasks carry their text and metadata with them.

### Completing Tasks
Check the checkbox next to a task. It is removed from the view and appended to **Eisenhower Archive.md** in your vault root under the correct quadrant and section heading.

```markdown
## Q1 — Do First
### Work
- [x] Prepare the quarterly report
```

### Fullscreen Quadrant
Click the **maximize icon** in any quadrant header to expand it to fill the full view. Click again (or the minimize icon) to return to the 2×2 layout.

### Persistent Storage
All tasks and sections are saved in Obsidian's plugin data store and survive restarts, vault reloads, and theme changes.

### Theme-Aware
Uses Obsidian CSS variables throughout — works with any light or dark community theme without any configuration.
